Product description

All the Greek myths you never heard in school, direct from the hero in the know. Like your Greek myths with a funny twist? Then there’s only one half-god to call on: Percy Jackson. Even the titles of his tales will make you laugh so loud you wake the Underworld. ‘Perseus Wants a Hug.’ ‘Phaethon Fails Driver’s Ed.’ ‘Whatever It Is, Bellerophon Didn’t Do It.’ No one else tells them like this, right? Tee hee. But it’s not all giggles (sorry). Expect poison, betrayals, gory murders and flesh-eating farm animals. With painful, tragic deaths for dessert.

Twelve Greek myths retold by dyslexic demigod Percy

Perfect companion to Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods

Bursting with action, battles, monsters and killer wit

The first Percy Jackson book won the Red House Award

Author/Illustrator

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
